5 So I confessed my sinsand told them all to you.I said, “I'll tell the Lordeach one of my sins.”Then you forgave meand took away my guilt.
6 We worship you, Lord,and we should always praywhenever we find outthat we have sinned.Then we won't be swept awayby a raging flood.
7 You are my hiding place!You protect me from trouble,and you put songs in my heartbecause you have saved me.
8 You said to me,“I will point out the roadthat you should follow.I will be your teacherand watch over you.
9 Don't be stupidlike horses and mulesthat must be led with ropesto make them obey.”
10 All kinds of troubleswill strike the wicked,but your kindness shields thosewho trust you, Lord.
11 And so your good peopleshould celebrate and shout.
